Study: Liberals curse more than the right

Anonymous
Being a regular on dcum forum, I've noticed that the liberal side uses more profanities and vulgarities than those on the right. I also listened to some left-leaning podcasts and watched liberal-leaning youtube channels, and found that liberal leaning podcasts and even cooking channels like Bon Appetit Magazine have hosts that curse like it's nothing.

While I don't like cursing and don't enjoy reading expletives on dcum, I understand their appearance on a casual discussion forum. But seeing celebrities like Samantha Bee calling Ivanka "feckless c.." on national TV, listening and watching the podcasts and cooking show, I find this cursing staff grossly off-putting crass, and, frankly, revolting.

Conservative-leaning channels don't have any near the level of foul language.

In my opinion, cursing is not cool, professional, nor does it make your arguments more convincing. Anyone else noticed this?

It’s what dumb people use to express their out of control emotions. And appeal to even dumber people.

Liberals are just f'ing smarter I guess


All your links are liberal sources. It's just self-soothing to make that kind of excuse.

Would a conservative source admit that liberals are smarter?

Rupert Murdoch would be surprised to learn that his New York Post is liberal.

Conservative channels promote disgusting hoaxes like the Comet Ping Pong story, baseless theories about Seth Rich, birtherism, harassment of Sandy Hook parents to name a few and OP has their knickers in a twist about the left's language?

So you don't like cursing, OP. Got it.

What do you think about lying? Or unethical conduct? Or breaking the law?

And how do those things compare to cursing? Better/worse/same?

Just curious about your moral code.

Yep. The Black Hebrew Israelites are proof of it.

Remember, Trump wanted to appeal to republicans because he knew they were dumb enough to elect him.

I’m conservative, and I can swear in English, Spanish, Arabic, and Pashto.

I thought conservatives liked people who told it like it is?
